All known bugs from prior releases are dead, squashed, and I've spent weeks putting this release through rigorous testing to squash any that might otherwise have emerged.

Contains a development version of Thunar, v.1.6.2, which brings a long-requested feature to the file browser: tabs! The version of Thunar functions stably, so there's no need to be fearful about using this release for production.

2.7 gig download, which is 1 gig smaller than the prior release. This was accomplished by - Making some program selections that avoided heavy KDE and mono dependencies. - Providing menu links for very weighty installations, e.g., one for installing spellcheck support into KeepNote rather than installing it by default trimmed 40 MB. - Removing some program redundancy.

Gorgeous desktop compositing turned on by default, provided by compton.

Some menu redesigning - there are submenus for Webapps and Documentation in each category, for example.

The UberOxygen icon theme is now comprehensively ported to XFCE and GTK.

this looks promising Like the fact you have made clear what is a local program and what a web app.

Maybe my PC is just too old (how do I check if it supports PAE, please?) but I post my problem in case others have got the same:After the splash screen, I get the mouse showing up for two seconds and then the screen goes black. Typing Ctrl+Alt+F7 shows

Code:

saned disabled; edit etc/default/saned

I tried xfce4-session in tty and got "Cannot open display: .", so I tried startx, startx -- and startx ** which switches back to tty7 but I still have a black screen. Going back to tty1 shows "Loading Extensions GLX".

Don't add the 3.0 repo and run it all yet. It's not ready for that. It's in testing.

I know that at least these three packages in the repo in their present state will break your system: uberstudent-xfce-default-settings, uberstudent-repo-configs, and docfetcher-installer. There's also an apport hook issue I'm trying to track to the offending package. Most of the packages are pretty much ready, though, except I need to go back and check their dependencies. I'm currently testing everything and working out all the issues; then, I'll build 3.0.

If you have a raring-based virtual machine or an installation of it on a harddrive section, and are game to help test things and don't mind things possibly breaking, please do use the repo and report back.
